The Community Roundtable has partnered with Voce Communications to produce a new podcast series, “Conversations with Community Managers.” In this series, TheCR’s Jim Storer joins forces with Voce’s Doug Haslam to speak with people from a variety of industries about their efforts with community and social media management.

Our third episode features an interview with Ryan Paugh, co-founder (with Ryan Healy and Penelope Trunk) and Director of Community for Brazen Careerist.com. From their web site:

Ryan PaughBrazen Careerist is a career management tool for next-generation professionals. It exists to give everyone an opportunity to build and nurture a network of trusted peers. Think of it as a 24-7 virtual networking event, filled with people who can help you get ahead in your career.

Conversation highlights include:

  • The challenge of managing a community where the community is the product
  • How much attention to pay to “tone” when your community caters to a specific demographic (in this case, “Generation Y”)
  • The role of passion for your topic/category when managing a community
  • The freedom to mix in new tools and technology with a community of early adopters
